yea I know thats what I told him

thanks

Is that cooler really needed?

is that PNY ssd reliable?

No, but the stock cooler that comes with most AMD CPUs sucks.

And yes, that SSD is good.

if he doesnt plan on overclocking ever, the stock one will do the job right?

Also, isnt the R280x a better option for the price?


edit : nevermind its more expensive

I'd still get the aftermarket heatsink.

how much price difference is there between the 8320 and 8320e?

thanks

Might tell him to go witha cheaper PSU tho, not sure he needs 750w modular, guess 500 w non modular would do

about the cpu, E is more power efficient, slower than the other right? (3.2ghz vs 3.5 and 75w vs 125w)
